  50       The main goal of my research is improving
  51       <strong>software&nbsp;reliability</strong>
  52       through application of <em>formal methods</em>.
  53     </p>
  54
  55     <p>
  56       My current research at <a href="https://watform.uwaterloo.ca">WatForm</a>
  57       focuses on formal logic, model checking, and verification.
  58       Specifically, I am working on various optimizations aiming to
  59       improve the analysis performance of the Alloy Analyzer on
  60       models.
  61     </p>
  62
  63     <p>
  64       I am also interested in programming languages, type systems, and
  65       interactive theorem proving.
